Bill Summary
A bill to provide for the elimination of daylight saving time in this state; and to provide for a referendum.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to eliminate daylight saving time (DST) throughout the entire state of Michigan, including all political subdivisions, in accordance with federal authorization under 15 USC 260a. The bill would require Michigan to remain on standard time year-round, effectively stopping the practice of changing clocks twice a year. Notably, the bill's implementation is contingent upon voter approval through a referendum during the general election on November 3, 2026. If a majority of Michigan voters support the measure, the law would take effect 30 days after the official vote declaration, as specified in the Michigan election law. By seeking voter approval, the bill ensures that the decision to permanently eliminate daylight saving time is made directly by the state's residents.
